Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Dorms.com at 4.7 against Homestay Az's 3.7. Dorms.com also leads on ratings volume (18 vs 3). Homestay Az's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 67%). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Dorms.com holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dorms.com has 18 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Dorms.com's written reviews are positive against 100% of Homestay Az's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
